Description:
This mosaic was designed by a group of thirty 2nd and 3rd graders at Charles Drew Elementary. The students decided the theme should be based on their school’s core values which include the idea that learning can be fun in a positive and supportive environment.The imagery depicts the Drew “Scholars” as leaders, studying, playing, cooperating and ultimately soaring out of this world.

Description:
This mural is based off of Louis Armstrong’s song “What a Wonderful World”. The teachers of Charles Drew Elementary School were using the song to teach the students sign language. The students then used the words of the song to think of imagery for the mural. Over 80 students worked on the mural as well as community and teachers. Mosaic tile is also integrated in the design to add a 3 dimensional effect and highlight important parts of the song.
